Is there a third party client or website or something that shows every ship type and there infomation on lowest range to highest range targeting and firing from, and information on ships resistance types stuff like that? but user friendly and easier to get information faster than the Eve.exe system?

in Eve.exe gotta open a million different windows and tabs to get all this information, in a mid of battle that could be a problem lol.

anything would help, thanks

(this is for pvp) i dont need NPC stuff at all.

just do ur reseach on ships and u wont have that prob. ie. cane on scan most likely shield gank nano with 425s and 2 med neuts or armor tank with the cookie cut plate 2 enam 2 gyro dc with 425s in the highs. u can guess wat the range will be just by remembering the fits used for each ship. not that hard to do

EFT does pretty much what you are asking. It allows you to put on weapons/modules/ammo/scripts, see their ranges and effects, how long your capacitor lasts, speed, align time, average EHP, armor and shield resistances, "raw" armor and shield numbers, DPS (can include and exclude reload time into the calculations), how certain Ewar will affect your ship's performance, etc, etc.

The only thing EFT doesn't do is tell you the "weaknesses" of ships... that's something one can ONLY get through experience and/or other players (though, with the latter you are opening yourself up to potentially biased information).

I'd say your best bet is to talk to your alliance mates and gather some cookie cutter fits from them (HAM Drake, 425 shield cane etc.) and plug those fittings into EFT for relatively quick access. Though honestly, if you just spend some time on EFT fitting up some popular ships, you'll quickly gain a far more comprehensive idea of each ship's capability.

Try having a look at this blog. http://altruist.azual.co.uk/

Look for the posts named "Know Your Enemy". They do not give you precise fit x means counter with precise fit y but the posts have an incredible amount of knowledge about how ships are used, their popularity, what damage type to shoot at them and at what range.

It's a work in progress (by which I mean there isn't a post for every ship class in game yet) but I've bookmarked it for my favourites due to it being an awesome rescource! (Mad props to Azual for the hard work!)

Hope this helps.

Use EFT and compile the data yourself you lazy bastard.
Then publish it on a website and sell access to it for ISK...I only require 10% for the idea.

i used to work with VB back in the day, im thinking about making a third party program with all the known fits for each ship and what its able to do and not to do but in more detail and user friendly that can be access fast.

Ship X > weapon fit type 1 > orbit distance > speed for best results > ship vs what kind of enemys > etc etc...

like idea here^ but much more detailed.

idk maybe i should make a new thread and see what people would think of it? and maybe get some better ideas..

the whole point of this program would be information on your pvp enemy ship and your ship and A WHOLE bunch of information

hard to explain hopefully you guys get what im saying haha.
